Something’s not right

very upset and disappointed real life sucks can I come back :(

very upset and disappointed real life sucks can I come back :(

Hi everyone I desperately need some advice on dealing with my mother. I cannot believe I have hit 52 and I am still asking for advice on how to deal with her but here I am. She is coming up tomorrow to visit and basically told me that she did not want to hug my daughter or go out for coffee with her because my daughter (suffering depression) does not wash her hair and has some dandruff in it.

She told me basically to deal with it. She said she was embarrassed by my my daughter ... Luckally my daughter has something else on so it shouldnt be an issue but it really hurts that she, my mother, grandmother to my children, can be so shallow, I mean who cares on what my daughter looks like. My mother is no oil painting either but my daughter doesnt judge her.

Plus I had a neighbour tell me I was letting myself go ... whilst looking at my stomach. Wonderful. Real life sucks. I am not impressed by it at all.

@Zoe7 the flu with a flu shot! You must be susceptible to it. I agree best you take precautions and have the shot. Touch wood I have only had it once my youngest brought it home from school and we all caught it. Remember when swine flu was the talk it was that year.

Looking good @Bunniekins Familes eh?! I'm so glad you have your lovely daughter. As for the neighbour - pffft - what a way to behave. With you in spirit lovely, and will send positive vibes your way tomorrow.

@frog Thanks Froggy I am very nervous I know what I am going to get but I will head everyone's advice and not let her insecurities rattle me.

I better go get my son into the shower. Been great talking with you all. Have a great night and will talk tomorrow. Take care and a big thank you for your patience.

I do remember swine flu - lucky it wasn't that strain @Bunniekins.

I managed to get 2 strains of the flu at once...I am convinced it was from one of the kids at school who spat on me - he cried afterwards - he was devastated he had done that to me when he calmed down (and yes - he was one of my favourite kids!) I forgave him pretty quickly - I was more worried about him hurting himself in his destructive mode.

@Zoe7@frog@Snowie@Former-Member In 45 mins my mother should be here. I have been fighting feelings of SH all night and am now wearing my trusty rubber band around my wrist and have covered up my arms with long sleeves .... hopefully that will do the trick. Am not looking forward to this at all. Just want to hide underneath my covers and pretend this problem will go away.... can feel myself shutting down emotionally but will smile like I always do regardless of how I feel inside because tht is what I do best.

Hoping everyone has a 'goodish' day and will let you all know how it goes if I can stand to that is.
